Summer is here. We have lots of fresh fruits to eat and the sun is pounding. Really it’s not too hot yet, pretty pleasant. Although, we can tell summer is here by how dead things get in the middle of the day. School is finishing up now too. Ben and I both finished our English classes for the year. The market is full of watermelons, cantaloupes, honey dew, apricots, plums, grapes and bananas along with the year around oranges. We have been taking lots of walks/hikes the past few weeks around our site to enjoy the weather. So we have lots of new lizard/frog/turtle pictures. We are also keeping two cats for a few months that belonged to a volunteer that recently went home. They’ve been fun, but like to wake up way too early! The bathroom project at the school is wrapping up. We still have to teach the students how to properly use them and paint the walls. Well it’s not actually paint. They use white rocks and crush them, then mix them with water and not sure what else to make a white paste that is brushed onto the walls. We are heading to Rabat next week for medical checkups. We are looking forward to seeing other volunteers in our group and checking out the capitol city. We hear there’s ice skating, bowling and a TJI Fridays! So we should be completely broke by the time we get back but it should be fun.
